Spacing Help!

[TKDlover14]

I am not good at spacing my program. I have my program spaced like this:


With these numbers:

Console.WriteLine(AUTHOR & vbNewLine)
Console.WriteLine(Space(24) & HEAD1 & vbNewLine & Space(15) & _
HEAD2 & vbNewLine & Space(13) & LINE)

If Not File.Exists(Diskfile) Then
Console.WriteLine("File: " & Diskfile & " does not exist")
Console.WriteLine(vbNewLine & vbNewLine) : Exit Sub : End If

FileOpen(1, Diskfile, OpenMode.Input)
While Not EOF(1)
Tokens = New StringTokenizer(LineInput(1), Delimiter)

Name = Tokens.NextToken() & " " & Tokens.NextToken()
Name = Name.PadRight(15)
hours = Tokens.NextToken()
payRate = Tokens.NextToken()
grossPay = CalculateGrossPay(hours, payRate)
pension = CalculatePension(hours, payRate)
netPay = grossPay - pension

totalHours = totalHours + hours
totalGrossPay = totalGrossPay + grossPay
totalPension = totalPension + pension
totalNetPay = totalNetPay + netPay


Console.Write(Space(16) & Name)
Console.Write(Space(8) & "{0:F2}", hours)
Console.WriteLine(Space(5) & "{0:F2}", payRate)
Console.WriteLine(Space(5) & "{0:F2}", grossPay)
Console.WriteLine(Space(5) & "{0:F2}", pension)
Console.WriteLine(Space(5) & "{0:F2}", netPay)

End While
FileClose(1)

Console.Write(Space(5) & LINE & vbCrLf & Space(14) & "TOTALS:")
Console.Write(Space(6) & "{0:F2}", totalhours)
Console.Write(Space(13) & "{0:F2}", totalGrossPay)
Console.Write(Space(9) & "{0:F2}", totalPension)
Console.Write(Space(10) & "{0:F2}", totalNetPay)
Console.Write(Space(27) & LINE & vbCrLf & vbCrLf)

End Sub 'Main()


I need it spaced to look like this:

is there a reason you need to use a console app? Nothing against console apps, but there are controls in the system.windows.forms namespace that make all that go away (in lieu of other stuff that may or may not be difficult).

How do I fix the spacing? It needs to be in columns.

The Console.Write and .WriteLine methods work the same way as StringBuilder.AppendFormat in that you can provide a format string as the first argument and then values toy plug into it.
